Medium Tactical Vehicles

Medium Tactical Vehicles supports the modernization of the Army's Medium Tactical Wheeled Vehicle fleets by investigating technology insertions such as predictive logistics, vehicle electrification, and autonomous operations. The program aims to develop initial prototypes to enable refinement of operational requirements and early user feedback to support future sustainment and operational movement operating concepts. Additionally, it focuses on developing technologies to improve safety, survivability, and mobility in an arctic environment. The program also includes upgrades in survivability and crew protection, improved safety through advancements in commercial active safety technologies, modernizing the aging Low Velocity Air Drop (LVAD) fleet of vehicles, and insertion of autonomous vehicle capabilities.

Program PE 0604604A also supports the development of the Cold-weather All-Terrain Vehicle (CATV), which is a tracked vehicle designed to provide transportation for up to a 10-Soldier element, emergency medical evacuation, command and control capability, and general cargo transportation on- and off-road in an Arctic environment. The program aims to conduct testing to prove the adequacy of the CATV's requirements with timing necessary to support planned Field Unit Equipped (FUE) in FY23. The acquisition strategy supports a two-step acquisition approach with an OTA based Prototype contract in 2QFY21 to two vendors for the prototype phase and a down select to one vendor on a Production contract in 3QFY22 that will support the production phase. The Army Procurement Objective (APO) is 110 Cold-weather All-Terrain Vehicles (CATV).

Furthermore, Program PE 0604604A includes the Family Of Med Tac Veh (H07) project which supports the continued evolution of the future FMTV fleet as well as tech insertion opportunities to keep the current FMTV fleet relevant on today's battlefield. It aims to address potential obsolescence issues with powertrain and Material Handling Equipment used on the FMTV while increasing survivability and crew protection. The project also focuses on developing climate change initiatives such as vehicle electrification, onboard vehicle power, predictive logistics (PL), and other climate change-related technologies for the Tactical Wheeled Vehicle fleet. Additionally, it includes updates to the FMTV Low Velocity Air Drop (LVAD) fleet of vehicles to address obsolescence issues and modernize the fleet.

Overall, these programs aim to enhance the Army's tactical vehicle capabilities by integrating advanced technologies, improving safety features, addressing obsolescence issues, and supporting climate change initiatives for tactical wheeled vehicles.
